|||||
1. | Draw a circle. Draw the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | ||||
2. | Create the inscribed hexagram (regular 6-pointed star) of circle 1 by constructing two inscribed equilateral triangles, one pointing up, one pointing down. | ||||
3. | Construct the circumscribed circle of the hexagon (regular 6-sided polygon), enclosed by hexagram 2. | ||||
4. | Create the inscribed hexagram of circle 3 by constructing two inscribed equilateral triangles, one pointing to the left, one pointing to the right. | ||||
5. | Construct the inscribed circle of the hexagon, enclosed by hexagram 2. | ||||
6. | Create the inscribed hexagram of circle 5 by constructing two inscribed equilateral triangles, one pointing up, one pointing down. | ||||
7. | Construct the circumscribed circle of the hexagon, enclosed by hexagram 6. | ||||
8. | Copy circle 5 to the top angular point of hexagram 6. | ||||
9. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the intersections of circle 8 and the upper side of the triangle of hexagram 2 pointing down. | ||||
10. | Construct the inscribed circle of the hexagon, enclosed by hexagram 6. | ||||
11. | Copy circle 10 three times, to the angular points of the triangle of hexagram 2 pointing up. | ||||
12. | Copy circle 1 three times, to the centers of circles 11. | ||||
13. | Draw the three rays from the center of circle 1 to the mutual intersections of circles 12, and extend these in opposite directions up to the outer sides of circles 12. | ||||
14. | Construct three circles concentric to circles 12, each passing through the two near intersections of circle 9 and lines 13, that lie inside the overlapping areas of circles 12, as shown. | ||||
15. | Copy circle 5 three times, to the outer intersections of circles 12 and lines 13. | ||||
16. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the outer ring of intersections of hexagrams 4 and 6. | ||||
17. | Copy circle 16 three times, to the centers of circles 15. | ||||
18. | Extend lines 13 up to the outer sides of circles 15. | ||||
19. | Copy circle 10 to the center of upper circle 15. | ||||
20. | Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of the lower left circle 17, with an angular point coincident with the end-point of lower left line 18 (extended line 13). | ||||
21. | Copy circle 3 to the center of the lower right circle 15. | ||||
22. | Extend lower right line 18 up to the lower right side of circle 21. | ||||
23. | Create the inscribed hexagram of circle 21 by constructing two inscribed equilateral triangles, one pointing to the end of line 22, one pointing towards the center of circle 1. | ||||
24. | Construct three pairs of parallel lines, by connecting opposite pairs of intersections of the lower right circle 15 and hexagram 23, as shown. | ||||
25. | Copy circles 7 and 10 to the center of the lower right circle 15. | ||||
26. | Draw two rays of hexagram 23 from the center of the lower right circle 15 to the upper right and lower angular points, as shown. | ||||
27. | Circles 9, 11, 12, 14, 15, 17, 19 and 25, triangle 20, and lines 24 and 26 are the constituents of the final reconstruction. | ||||
28. | Leaving out all parts not visible in the formation itself... High resolution dwf-file | ||||
29. | ...and colouring the areas corresponding to standing... High resolution dwf-file | ||||
30. | ...or to flattened crop, finish the reconstruction of the Bainbridge, Ohio, USA, formation of 28-09-2003. High resolution dwf-file | ||||
